From dce02d80dfd0c636ece1d085cce31e71edaaaf77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:49:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] wave20: ghidra-0001 UNDF-1303 (6.5x-27x RecoveredClassHelper) + 9 clean-scan additions Flagship: ghidra RecoveredClassHelper.addVftableReferencesToFunctionMapping + addFunctionsToClassMapping. Each insert does List.contains + ArrayList copy on every add, giving O(F*R^2) per binary. Map> rewrite gives O(F*R) and 27x speedup at F=2k R=500. Reverse-engineering large C++ binaries (1000+ classes, 10k+ vtable refs) sees seconds-to-minutes per RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript run today. Wave 20 honor roll: cri-o, runc, youki, quickjs, hermes, ripgrep, radare2, monero, mitmproxy.
